Can you make a Model of a car

[Dx_king91]

I've been thinking if i sent one of my Design can you guy make a model of it

[blubaja]

It's not as easy as you think dude. What car is it tho? There might be someone who can try it tho.

[white97ex]

depends on what it is, if there is a suitable base, and if you are willing to pay. It takes a LOT of time and materials for conversions and scratchbuilds

[Dx_king91]

and how much

of cause...only depends on the time & cost...

[hirofkd]

A one-off model usually costs a few thousand US dollars.
Say if you work at $15 per hour, and spend 300 hours, that translates to $4500, which sounds about right.

Build it yourself! That's the whole idea. The sketches you have in your thread are a start but you will find out there are many things you haven't thought about yet and some things you have will probably not work!
That's the way it is! No car design has ever been made from one key sketch with no changes and without heaps of questions being asked and decisions being made in the process:-)
Get a lump of clay or whatever material suits you and start playing with it!
Good designers are mostly good modelers too. They should be able to translate their designs into a model themselves. If not the modelers will have a hard time with them :-)

price would depend upon the person I'm sure. It is all really going to depend on the amount of work needed to create the car. if it were something that could be created using a kit body as a base then that would help. post some pics of what you are wanting, or a link

there is also a hell of a lot of difference between a "concept" drawing and a production drawing. Good designers can turn one into the other without losing the character. Here's a little question; have you tried to see if you can actually package a car's essentials into your sketches?

What an utterly insane thread!

What amazes me is how someone who has clearly studied car design trends and has proficient design and draughting skills has not even thought about creating the designs themselves as models, or considered the time/effort needed to model a prototype...outstanding!

I would certainly never attempt to build a model from a drawing, but I would really have trouble doing it from a sketch. You need blueprints, man, showing not only the exact dimensions of each part of the body, but also of the engine, interior, chassis, suspension, etc., and their relative positions to each other. Only then could one consider making a model--and it would still be expensive and time-consuming.

Your question was a bit vague.

Wow, harshness here. First off, lets see your drawings. If possible give us the main faces of the design (5 excluding undercarriage) separately, possibly a 3-d video of it, and see what you have. If it resembles a 1999 Firebird, then go from there. Cut it up, mold it, putty it, and play with it. If it looks like it might be the size of a 2004 Escalade then go from there. If you are confident in that then do it. I totally believe that YOU can make a concept from a drawing. You used your imagination to make it 2-d, use it again to make it 3-d!
